Why is it so hard to find a phone that has all the bells and whistles. The smartphone is the way to go, but unless you get the 2,000.00 HTC phone, none of them have the features needed and wanted. To get the best of the best, we need a hand held GPS, PDA, and phone with each device having the ability to add (why not come with several gigs of space?) several gig's of storage along with several methods of connectivity. Really, the carrier companies are almost as bad as the fuel companies with the connectivity plans. Unlimited internet should be just that, but they want you to get unlimited voice, internet, media, and messaging.. What a crock. Last time I checked media and messaging was part of internet. The newer PDA type devices with Wifi really seem the way to go. I've never owned one, but I'm thinking about going that route, as hotspots are all over the place. I do need my e-mail, I can really use GPS with pocket streets, IM with the major players (AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Skype) can come in handy, Terminal Services along with VPN are needed. Quite honestly, as a struggling small business owner 98% of the imcoming phone calls are telemarketers wanting me to spend money, not a call with a chance to earn money and most of them are from my own provider. I pay a lot of hard earned money for 11 incoming phone lines (includes office, fax, cells, and IP) so people can solicit me to spend more money (and I'm worried about paying the mortgage). The phone has quickly become a serious overhead with very little return on investment. What has this world come to. Does anyone else feel my pain? What is the solution? Where to get the correct tools for the job, and not have to give up any body limbs to maintain it? Frustrated Rob I simply don’t get it.
